I am a mother of 4, a grandmother of 20, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and I have spent most of my adult life trying to figure out how to have JOY amidst the vicissitudes of life.  Joy is not like happiness which is based on life’s circumstances being perfect.  Joy is created from riding the rough and smooth waves of life!

​

I have a Master’s Degree in Education as well as graduate hours in psychology, reading, Early Childhood, and Structured English Immersion. I spent thirty years teaching and coaching both in public education and community college settings.  Thanks to my latest achievement- graduating from Brook Castillo’s Life Coach School, I now have the best cognitive tools to help me and my clients experience JOY in the ups and downs of life! Knowing it will be a bumpy ride somehow makes life easier, right?

​

What I learned through all my studies of the brain and human behavior helped me increase my confidence, enjoy my career, love my family, and develop a close relationship with my Heavenly Father. I would love to help you improve your relationships, increase self-confidence, enjoy physical and emotional health, and accomplish the dreams you have been afraid to go after.

I believe my education and training have prepared me to do this work.
